For fiber optic media converter that has a sfp sfp or xfp transceiver interface.
Fiber media converter network diagram.
Most network diagrams tend to show entire devices instead of individual interfaces and leave layer 1 connections as a simple line.
As it is more of a commonplace to deploy a pair of fiber media converters in a network a single media converter is sometimes needed to link copper cabling to a fiber device.
Packaging contents 1x gigabit ethernet fiber media converter.
There is no true standard symbol shape for a media converter since that is generally viewed as an interface level item.
The connection between the two media converters is a little bit different from the others.
The standard media converter does not require a web interface and essentially convert signals from ethernet to fiber.
The media converter can then extend your network up to 20 km 12 4mi using single mode lc fiber optic cable.
The rj45 port of each media converter is connected to 10 100base tx hub and computer server separately.
A fiber to fiber media converter can extend a mm network across sm fiber with distances up to 160km.
In the figure below a fiber media converter with 1 sfp slot and 1 rj45 is applied connecting the ethernet switch switch b of all rj45 interfaces to an sfp switch.
These are some of the simplest models and are perfect for companies with junior it staff and simple retrofits as their networks develop.
